Rockin' Guys
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, new releases, poses, sneak peak on Thursday, October 31, 2013
The guys won't be left out of The Rockabilly Fashion Fair; each merchant has a special item just for the Y chromosome set. Here is the offering from Sassy, simply named the Rockabilly men's shirt. It comes with a tee for underneath, but really? Show me that sixpack!
This comes with a color change hud!
Also in this post, a very nice wristband from MUKA.
My poses of the eve are NEW and from the ADAM set at Diesel Works. There is also a fun group gift (Halloween themed) so get over there before the season turns.

Here is another exclusive item from the Rockabilly Fashion Fair. Leri Miles Designs (main store) present the Dixie top and capris. I thought this looked much like a postcard -- so I made it so!
The capris of COURSE have dot trim on the cuffs. Well you KNEW that didn't ya?

Moving Through Time
Posted by Chic Aeon in hair, iheartslFeed, new releases on Tuesday, October 29, 2013
I am heading out to a TV filming this afternoon. I normally try and look very posh and professional, less is more and all that jazz. But today I decided to make a statement, mostly because I really like looking at myself in the my new outfit from The Library (see previous post for the details).
As gorgeous as the complete outfit is, the film studio isn't in Winterfell *wink* so "modernizing" seemed the way to go. I took off the hat and the skirt and changed to some plain boots. ( In the spirit of full disclosure I used a jacket alpha from another set :D). Happily there are some very nice textured leggings that are part of the Regina set. So now I look a bit more classy vintage and less role play. Both work, you just need to pick your style to match your locale.
I was also thrilled to find a just out "do" from VANITY HAIR that works perfectly with this attire. Pixivor is definitely one of my recent favorites from VANITY. I chose as streaked gray to proclaim my years and wisdom quotient *wink*.

The Enchanted Queen
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak on Monday, October 28, 2013
This is the Regina outfit from The Library for Enchantment, a new event themed on a different fairy tale each three months. This first installment follows the Snow White story. There are plenty of Snow White outfits in the mix; some naughty, some nice. I am not exactly sure where Regina fits into the theme but the vendor photo is in front of a fireplace and this may be "wicked stepmother attire". Nope, I am mixing my fairy tales -- the evil queen maybe?
No matter. Whatever the inspiration, this is a phenomenal outfit.
I journeyed over to the event (open to bloggers) late Friday eve. I had just posted on the hair from MINA, part of the event and wondered what else might be found. As I was wandering amidst the displays (no booths so shopping is very easy) I spied a gorgeous lady.
Now in truth, SHE was very lovely, but the outfit is what really caught my eye. I seldom IM people I don't know, but I couldn't help complimenting her on the outfit. It turned out it was her design and she kindly passed a copy to me.
The outfit (boots, hat, leggings are all part of the set) falls somewhere between classic and period; it is simply stunning.
You can also "dress down" (well not too far as this is a fancy item) a bit for more everyday adventures. I will show you that styling tomorrow along with some new hair from VANITY that I really love and that is perfect for this.
Meanwhile, mark your calendars for the first of the month.

Dark Drama
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, new releases
This is a AD Creations new release, Halo.
Beautifully detailed and completely striking, I really don't think I need to say more.
OK. I lied. I am bumping this photo up to a Monday edition for Strawberry's Halloween Meme. Now I don't actually plan to go trick or treating in any world, but this gorgeous number would definitely make me stand out in the crowd.
Here are my meme answers.
Did you go trick or treating as a child? Yep, in a group with friends. Much fun.
What was the best Halloween costume you ever saw or wore yourself? Memories are blurry on this. The only one that I remember was a Cinderella outfit that my mother made, It was blue and pink with lots of netting.
What is your most vivid memory about Halloween? Again (laughing here) childhood memories are not a big thing with me, but I do remember going up to an old ladies house with a group of friends to trick or treat. Amazingly the witchy looking lady had no idea it was All Hallows Eve :D. None of us could believe it!
What is the scariest movie you have ever seen? I don't watch scary movies. If they start going in that direction, I switch the channel (or nowadays return to my Hulu queue). The only one I remember as a small child was "Revenge of the Body Snatchers" which NOW doesn't seem all that scary but back then it certainly was.
Do you ever get nightmares after watching a scary movie? Nope. See above. I learned my lessons VERY early as I had major nightmares with the film mentioned in question four.
Are you superstitious? If so, name at least one superstition of yours. Not really. I don't walk under ladders, but that's just being cautious :D.
What will you be doing for Halloween this year, if anything, in SL and RL? I don't celebrate many holidays in either world. New Years and birthdays are about it. I do mark the day as Samhain and typically tub with candles in the dark and reflect on the change of seasons.
Photo taken at LEA6.

No Vacancy - RFF
Posted by Chic Aeon in iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak on Sunday, October 27, 2013
Another sneak peek at the upcoming Rockabilly Fashon Fair.
This outfit is from A r i s k e a (main store); the Dance On dress which comes in several colors. Nicely made and definitely vintage, I am loving the items from the event.
I was a brave gal and got a little naked (the sim was empty) so I could show you these great nylons (tattoos). My mother wore seamed nylons long after they were no longer in vogue, so this is very nostalgic for me. She proclaimed that they made your legs look thinner. Well most of us would like that!
Flower trimmed shoes are a new release for the event from Latreia Foot Fashion (main store)
Mark your calendars for November 3!
Hair: PELLE - Agnese mesh hair mogano red - from RFF previously featured.

Haunting and Hunting
Posted by Chic Aeon in hair, hunts, iheartslFeed, new releases, sneak peak on Saturday, October 26, 2013
This is the second time in a week that I have lost a post. Things are not good it seems in Bloggerville. So you get Mondays post on Saturday and I will redo Saturday's post for later in the week. I HOPE things get fixed.
On the BRIGHTER side, there is a new hunt at PARADISIS and friends. With lots of great goodies to find, it is bound to be a great adventure.
Happily some fitting midnight black hair came in from MINA HAIR for the Enchantment Event which opens soon. This hair comes in all white, black as shown and two versions of white-black mix.
I will have more to show you from Enchantment soon.

Snow in July, falling leaves in April. We have the ability to be anytime and any place in our virtual land. Today as crisp breezes nip at my heels in real life, I took a rest amidst apple and cherry blossoms.
New releases in this post include:
20.FIVE Mesh: Gypsy Skirt with super cute belt included. This is a color change item. Only brave girls need apply; it is really low cut in the hips region *wink*.
A recent release from BAIASTICE, the Mjrie top in rose.

This gorgeous new release is a pairing of two separates from BAIASTICE. The Emy high-waist trousers and the Roxie top are super sleek and show off every curve -- in a ladylike manner of course. Pick from bright colors or sedate and classy neutrals; mix and match to your hearts content.

TOS Meme
There have been plenty of fun times in SL. This is a photo from a year ago for a contest that somehow never "paid out" with even a thank you for entering. I wasn't happy then, but after all the TOS issues it seems like very small potatoes. And actually I LOVE this shot and with no rezzing at the sim you can imagine how hard it was to get *wink*. So starts my Monday Meme -- on Tuesday.
Do you usually read the TOS thoroughly before you hit accept?
You can bet I do now! LOL. Actually I often do, but Second Life's terms of service goes on for days (maybe weeks). I had full intention of doing research about the changes in the upcoming days -- and DID. Unfortunately no one (and I do mean no one) caught the important stuff in August. There were things about adult content mentioned and some other small issues. Obviously the folks reporting were NOT content creators. Thanks to CG Textures, many of us figured out how bad it was at the beginning of September and I wrote one of the fist blogs on the subject.
Lesson learned.
How do you feel about the new LL TOS changes, specially from August 15th and section 2.3.
Anyone who has been reading this blog for the last month or so knows my position well and fully. No need to go over it all again. Do a search for TOS in the search panel if you missed my point of view and care *wink*.
Do the changes affect you directly?
Of course. As a content creator I have lost control of my content. I originally thought it MUST be just things uploaded after the TOS changes, but lawyer after lawyer has affirmed that it is ALL CONTENT UPLOADED to the servers in the lifetime of SL -- over ten years.
Since C G Textures banned uploads from their site to SL and let the cat out of the bag (if only we would have known it was actually a mountain lion) I have not uploaded any content. My shop is still open and was doing very well. This month it has slowed down quite a bit; Marketplace sales too. I am not sure exactly why, but many people's spirits are low. I certainly haven't purchased anything lately while waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I no longer build for MOSP. I log in and caretake and put out newness sent to me in blogger packs. That's all I do here now. If I am in world more than half an hour a day it is a big deal. I used to be inworld for 10 hours or more each day.
What do you think people should do about this new change?
I believe everyone needs to do what works for them. If that is going about the world as usual, that is fine. If it means still creating when you know that your items can be instantly used and resold by LL with no credit or money to you (they do SHARE ownership with you of course - how nice of them) then that's fine too.
A fair amount of content creators have closed up shop, inworld or Marketplace or both. A smaller number have "left for good" and many are like me, just hanging around waiting to see what happens and not expecting the unveiling of intent to be a happy revelation.
The average "casual user" that Linden Labs has been aiming to attract over the last couple of years may not feel any difference at all. Artists were hurt the worst I think, writers especially as any work that was preformed or even written on a notecard is in jeopardy and they cannot sell their works as they cannot verify that there is no one else with rights to publish -- Linden Lab has that right according to the TOS.
Are you or have you ever thought about leaving Second Life? What would you do with your time/blogs/career if you ever did?
Honestly I have pretty much left in spirit if not in practice. I am still blogging, but not quite as often. I check in on MOSP and my kitty every day or so, but my enthusiasm and heart are no longer here. I doubt if the damage can ever be repaired at this point. I am not leaving, but I am mostly an observer now, not a participant and certainly not a content creator.
Some of you know I am over at Cloud Party, a browser based word with total artistic freedom and the most awful hair you can imagine! Well we make our choices. I may have to learn to rig just to have some stuff to put on my body. The unlimited free "sims" (building areas) are a default 1 kilometer square. The land goes on forever and there is no **** in the sky to spoil the view. There is no cost at all unless you want to upgrade to more usage (think prims in one spot) and a bit of privacy. The world is in beta and it is a small group of people there, but very friendly and supportive. I am actually selling things there to the minuscule population.
It is not a place for those needing to make a living -- actually there doesn't seem to be any good bets out there for that -- no "other country" to move to and upload existing goods. But I have my safe harbor and I am content. I have always believed in working towards the future and for me the Cloud Party tech is terrifically seductive. I can look like Plain Jane for awhile. I have never built so well and I am a happy gal there. Well there IS that hair issue *wink*.
Feelin' Rustic
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, hair, iheartslFeed, new releases
It's definitely Fall and definitely country at The Liaison Collaborative this October. Now I have to admit to looking up the theme which is "The Lodge". I knew rustic and outdoors played a part, but I wanted to be able to give you the complete scoop.
One of my favorite pieces is the apple stand from Trompe Loeil. The release includes the complete set up as well as all the individual pieces should you want to decorate other areas.
My new warm vest with tee shirt is a new release from Ducknipple. Klazien come as shown as well as vest only and the hud lets you change both vest collar and tee shirt colors. Definitely my style -- and warm to boot.
My hair is a new release from Mina and perfect for outdoors. A casual loose piggie style that lets you feel both young and active; not a bad combo. It comes with a spiffy new all inclusive hud for easy choices. Find it at the Boho Culture Fair.
Camping can certainly be part of the "Lodge" experience and {what next} has a darling roomy tent complete with trimmings out for the event. The animations are really fun. This sit with a flashlight is one of my favorites.
Can't you just feel that cold crisp Fall air? I can.
With lots of little details this is a great addition to your backyard area or beach -- even role play.
A sleeping bag completes the decor and there is even a rug. Now, I have to admit I don't remember many rugs on my campouts, but if you want to be really realistic you can use the rug somewhere else *wink*.
Cheeky Pea wants us to work for our supper with a very detailed kitchen (island included and both A and PG verisions). The props and animations let you do plenty of chores. I picked baking since that means you get to eat the pastries after you are finished!
And Barnesworth Anubis made the perfect remodeled barn for this kitchen. That probably wasn't a plan, but the two new releases pair well together. The barn is high ceiling and definitely roomy with a big fireplace to keep you warm. The barn doors are quite clever and there are plenty of windows to let in lovely light patterns.
So be sure and stop by The Liaison Collaborative!

Now and then I enter contests, sometimes for "fame" and sometimes for lindens or early access *wink*. And now and then I forget that I have entered.
So while blurry ( a screenshot from ISSUU), here I am. This photo was taken at the classroom at MOSP of course, the one at Sound Stage 1 (or is it 2?).
My outfit is mostly from PARADISIS. I am going to put in some bigger screenshots of the text so you can read the blurb and the credits.

Out for Fifty Linden Friday in an assortment of styles, the Pine Ridge Chairs which coordinate with the Pine Ridge Camping set I haven't shown you yet. You don't need to be a camper to enjoy this comfy seating though. It's perfect for any outdoor space. Find it Friday only at {what next}. It is packed full of great animations and props.
Outfit notes and more new homewares goodness coming up soon.
And some asides:
Pearl is the best little kitty. She walks half way across a sim to find me -- through lakes and inlets (oh my). She is definitely the smartest of the Firestorm kitty crew among my friends and I am happy she is my pet.
For those of you that are designers or for those of you that have been impatiently waiting for the mesh deformer to hit SL, there is some sad news. Read about it here. I guess really, we could have foreseen this, but I for one did not.
I quit a blogging group today. I am tired of threats even though presumably not aimed at me. So if you see me wearing items with no credits given, you'll know why. Bloggers DO need to preform their jobs, I agree with that. Designers don't need to yell at the whole group continuously. Enough said.

Goggling Chic
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed on Wednesday, October 16, 2013
There were actually only about 10,000 results with my name in quotes, but this no quote result was a MUCH nicer screenshot complete with pictures.
My blog is the first link on the page.
The most surprising link (I didn't really look too far but it was pretty close to the top) was from Plurk about using a signpost in a Monsanto video film in SL. I am not sure if it was a positive or negative remark *wink*; I don't Plurk and didn't follow the link. There were lots of links to machinima, marketplace items, art, and some very references. A few were from other blogs; some referencing me in a MOSP article.
You can see from the screenshot that the first three photos are actually portraits- the first from my blog, the second from Vimeo and the last from the Madpea blog. The third is from the University of Western Australia and is of a build that won second prize last year. The piggy is from last Sunday's post and doesn't say "chic aeon" anywhere on it. Google is a very good sleuth it seems.
In the MORE tab (with quotes) the only listing was from DailyTech about some hardware. My name wasn't mentioned; Google disregarded the quotes it seems. Same results without quotes.
Real Life
My real life name isn't terribly common but there about 17,000 mentions. MOST not me.
Of the first two pages there were two "white page" phone book entries, one of where I am living and one from my last home seven years ago. On page two there was a mention of my work in an art book from long ago as well as some free graphics from almost 20 years ago (yes really and I would SO like that to disappear - LOL).
Among my RL name sisters I have always known about a famous porn star in Britain as well as a soccer star (high school and maybe now in college). There are some good looking ladies that share my name judging from the photos! There is also a sports broadcaster. I forgot about her. That wraps it up in the fame department.
To be honest, if you would have searched for my RL name 15 years ago it would have been ALL over the pages. I have gone to great lengths to get out of the Google Hall of Fame and I am very happy that I have been successful. Just one very old and very bad (in oh so many ways) photo is in the archives.
Much fun.

I am over at LEA6 as I write this. Each month my view at LEA7 changes. It is an interesting exercise watching what artist produce on their month long invitation. October's artist is Rebeca Bashly, with 'Colour Key'.
A huge monolith abuts my sim. It is imposing to say the least. I haven't been around all that much these days but I finally made it over to see what was beyond the wall.
It is minimalist and dark speaking of things we cannot know. At least that is my interpretation. I have some other questions that I will leave off these pages; op ed day has come and gone. There are crevices to explore and hidden areas which I could only see with my camera. There may be a way in of course. I am not the best slueth in the neighborhood.
My simply gorgeous outfit includes two separates from a large new release at BAIASTICE. With so many lovely things to choose from, I went for simple and classic. I feel both ladylike and VERY "put together".
Both the Emy high-waist trousers and the Roxie top come in a huge choice of colors. Be bright and bold or sedate and posh -- the choice is yours.The detailing is superb and the fit? Like a glove.

Money Money Money
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed on Sunday, October 13, 2013
I wasn't planning on an Op Ed piece today. I'll be taking some time off and a "be good while I'm gone" post is scheduled for tomorrow.
But this morning I opened my email to my very first refund request. This was for one of my most expensive items, bought in world INSIDE the demo. The lady was not happy with the plain wall texture inside the fully MOD build.
I explained to her that she could easily tint the walls OR if she wanted wallpaper she could very easily put up some fake prim walls (at very little land impact); that I would not refund her money as there was no way she could return the mod - copy - NT item.
A very huffy email reply came back about building her own house, deleting, bad building, bad customer service.
Now I KNOW it is her and not me - LOL. But really, it wasn't what I needed this morning. And a bunch more of my inventory disappeared during the latest database disaster. I knew it happened as someone wrote for a Marketplace redelivery -- which of course I fulfilled lickety split (BAD customer service gal that I am).
So with all that's been going on this last month or so, I really do need a break. I'll be in and out and IMs go to email should you need info or whatever. And yes, I will be creating elsewhere while I wait and see what is happening with my long time home.
The super cute piggy bank is from Sway's. Serendipity was good to me. I decided to go back one year and see what I was posting about. Piggy came up. Still have him. At least I "hope" I still do. You never know what has disappeared from the database until you need it.
Have a good Sunday.

A Touch of Fantasy
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases on Thursday, October 10, 2013
The Trompe Loeil Autumn Cottage is new for COLLABOR88.
Now I KNOW it isn't quite snow season but I thought this cutie would be perfect in that environment. A bit of fantasy, it is as cozy as a cottage could be, perfect for fairies or elves or hobbits -- even for us REGULAR folk.
The smoke (on -off fireplace) escapes the confines of the chimney convincingly.
Whether snow or grass or the falling leaves of Autumn, this is a great little house for anyone who likes cozy.
That includes ME!
The house does have a bit of a Harry Potter feel and so that is an easy segue into ----
These lassitude & ennui Batty shoes for Wizarding Faire are the most stylish of styles for those that dabble in the arts.
And even if you don't whisper incantations in the dark of night, they are appropriate for all sorts of other stylings. Both Victorian and Steampunk come to mine.

War Zone
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment on Sunday, October 6, 2013
I wrote this post after a long weekend which in memory is simply a blur of constant typing. Emails, comments, post and reporting all in the name of possible victory.
I am calmer now mid-week and have moved into a state of almost blissful acceptance. Well, everything is relative. While I hope we can make a difference with our many voices, I think the only real test will be in court. That seems like a certainty as I have seen comments by content creators about their intent. Until then we are in a limbo land.
I plan to stick with my No More Uploads pledge as I can't support a grid who takes control of our content as we push the upload button. I am very happy over at Cloud Party, not a Second Life of course but full of promise and wonderful tech for mesh creators. I am making a home away from home there and am very grateful to have a place where I can build with joy.
So that is where "I" am at the moment. Wherever you are in this controversy, I wish you well.
And here is my original post for Op Ed Sunday.
It feels like a war zone these days, fighting for our livelihood, our world. Not everyone is in the fight of course -- and that's OK. We each have our own needs, our own responsibilities.
It's funny really as I pretty much never get involved in causes in real life. I am a low key kinda gal. I don't take up banners or march in parades. Even in my youth I wasn't one to riot or protest -- and that was very "in" then.
Not too sure how I made it to the front lines, I find myself quoted on other blogs. I cringe a little as while it might not seem so, limelight and I are not the best of friends. I am more of a behinds the scenes gal, at least it has been that way in the past.
I have wondered why this fight is so important to me. A friend suggested it was because of business concerns, but that isn't it. Lindens do translate into dollars and in my mind (no matter what The Lab wants the world to believe) they are currency. I would miss my little shop and all I have made should it disappear one day, but it isn't the income that I would morn, it would be the effort that went into the creations that were no more.
Since I have made my position on the TOS debate crystalline clear from the beginning, some of you may be wondering why I am still blogging designers who seem not to care. I haven't talked with many on any deep level; I don't know them that well and it is not my place. I suspect though that some are just as concerned as I am, they just don't have the luxury of being able to follow their hearts.
Many designers, especially the very good ones, support themselves and their families by creating in Second Life. They need to work to pay both their tier and their mortgage; that doesn't mean they are insensitive to what is happening around them. I am grateful they are working while I am not. They give me beautiful things to show you and that makes MY life better while I am waiting and hoping and fighting.
So support us all, those that are fighting (even if you don't agree, they are fighting for you too) and those that are keeping the home fires burning by continuing to work while the bombs are falling. We each have our place. We each have our paths.

The Falling Leaves Hunt just started and while I am not spending a lot of time hunting these days, I definitely made a few stops.

This post is brought to you by the color BLUE.
It isn't JUST blue of course, but a plethora of hues to be had.
The Ashton furniture set from Trompe Loeil for FaMESHed includes many pieces. Buy the full set or just your individual accent needs. A big variety of both prints and plains (via hud in most cases) assure that there is a match for your style. PG and A versions are both available.
On the horizon there is a really cute hair out from MINA for We Love Roleplay which opens the 5th of October. There are plenty of color choices by hud. The pony wrap has its own section of the menu for color change. Nicely done!
Also shown are some very stylish Moonchild earrings from Bliensen + MaiTai for the same event. A variety of colors are available including a lovely Red Gold (not a good pairing with cool blue however *wink* ). There are some really stunning items in the B + M Roleplay release and I hope to show you more of them soon. Meanwhile, just hop on over when the event begins.
My cami is from 1 Hundred; look for the All Yours top in a big variety of colors. Tangos included.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Gay couples in Arkansas will not be able to get married even though the state Supreme Court upheld a ruling that struck down the ban on same-sex marriage because a separate law that prevents issuing marriage licenses to gays is still valid.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Gay couples in Arkansas will not be able to get married even though the state Supreme Court upheld a ruling that struck down the ban on same-sex marriage because a separate law that prevents issuing marriage licenses to gays is still valid.
In an unsigned order, the justices refused to put the ruling by Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza on hold. Even though they rejected the state's request to suspend the ruling, though, their order will still prevent any other same-sex couples from getting marriage licenses in Arkansas, at least for now.
"In our opinion, it's not that they denied the stay or issued a stay, when they kinda, I guess, kicked the can down the road," said Thomas Baldwin, of Bryant, who married his partner, Devin Rudeseal, on Monday in Little Rock.
Last Friday, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza threw out a 10-year-old ban that voters placed in the state constitution and a separate state law barring same-sex marriages. But he didn't rule on a separate law that regulates the conduct of county clerks, which threatens fines if they issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"I think it actually makes it a little more muddy," Chris Villines, the executive director of the Association of Arkansas Counties, said Wednesday evening after reviewing the Supreme Court's decision.
The justices, in their decision, offered no direction to the county clerks, who knew before the ruling came out that guidance for clerks was still on the books. They had wanted to know what to do with the conflicting findings: the gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional, but clerks aren't authorized to do anything about it.
"County clerks have been uncertain about their responsibilities and couples unable to know definitively whether their marriage will remain valid," said Aaron Sadler, a spokesman for Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. "A stay issued by either the Supreme Court or Judge Piazza would have brought some certainty. Unfortunately, today's decision did not do that."
After Piazza's decision last Friday, clerks in five counties responded by issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Through Wednesday evening, 456 gay couples in Arkansas had since received permission to marry, according to an Associated Press canvass of county clerks. Pulaski and Washington counties issued licenses Wednesday, but said after the ruling they would stop.
Couples that already have licenses can still get married.
The state's other 70 counties had not issued licenses to gay couples, with many saying the Supreme Court needed to weigh in.
Lawyers for gay couples said Piazza could fix the problem by simply incorporating broader language when he files a final order.
"I would argue that is implicit in his ruling, but we're going to have to get him to address that," lawyer Jack Wagoner said.
Jason Owens, who represented four counties named as defendants in the gay couples' lawsuit, said the counties were correct to wait for further guidance.
"I think it certainly validates that decision to not issue the licenses because there is still a statute in effect that prohibits that," Owens said.
Pulaski County Clerk Larry Crane, at Little Rock, initially said he would continue to do so Thursday, but changed his mind after talking to the county's lawyer. Washington County clerk Becky Lewallen stopped distribution from her office near the University of Arkansas but intended to talk to other clerks about a way forward.
"It's kind of unfair, the ruling, and we are going to suspend it until we get some clarification," Lewallen said.
Also Wednesday, the high court dismissed McDaniel's initial appeal of Piazza's ruling, saying it was premature because Piazza hadn't issued a final order.
Arkansas voters approved a gay marriage ban by a 3-to-1 margin in 2004, but Piazza's ruling cleared the way for the first same-sex marriages in the Bible Belt.
"This is an unconstitutional attempt to narrow the definition of equality," Piazza wrote. "The exclusion of a minority for no rational reason is a dangerous precedent."
Carroll County, home to the tourist town of Eureka Springs, offered marriage licenses to same-sex couples Saturday, the day after Piazza's ruling, but stopped Monday. Pulaski County, started issuing licenses Monday morning.
McDaniel recently said he supported gay marriage personally but would still defend the state's ban.
Seventeen other states allow gay marriage. Judges have struck down bans in Idaho, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

I've been on a total citrus kick lately. My latest attempt is Ina Garten's lemon cake. The still-hot-from-the-oven loaves are soaked with a lemon syrup, which adds a mouth-puckering tartness. Ina glazes hers with a lemon icing, but I skipped it since I was low on confectioners' sugar.
Lemon Cake
(makes two 8-inch loafs)
1/2 lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp.
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup grated lemon zest
4 large eggs, at room temp.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temp.
1 tsp vanilla extract
Lemon soaking syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preheat the oven 350 F. Butter and flour two loaf pans (I used 8.5 x 4 inch loaf pans).
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside dry ingredients.
Combine lemon juice, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a small Pyrex measuring cup. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the lemon zest. Then add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally.
Add one-third of the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Mix in half of the buttermilk mixture. Repeat with flour, buttermilk, and flour.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 45 – 60 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
Shortly before the cakes are done, make the soaking syrup. In a small, non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, whisking occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Cool cakes in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and set them on a cooling rack over a baking sheet (to collect any dripping syrup). With a wooden skewer, poke the cake all over and spoon or brush with the syrup. Allow the cakes to cool completely.

Mind you, you've really got to have sound teaching chops and good business sense to earn 8-10+ k a month NET, but it can be done, and done without working for the British Council (I know several people who've done it).

Like everything else in life, it just comes down to being a discerning consumer. I understand the wild quotes for insurance here; when I insured my own car I got quotes from 1000 to 4000 zl; unsurprisingly I went for the cheaper. But compared to the UK, in Poland I don't pay road tax, I don't pay as much for fuel, I don't pay as much for my yearly check-up, I have no problem buying my own parts for the same price or even cheaper than the UK, and garage labour per hour is considerably less in Poland, even in the capital, than anywhere where I'm from. Of course, the dealerships (stealerships) will rob you blind; they do in every country. You just have to know where to go. Even then, Poland BMW only charges 5zl for that copper nut (1 pound, not 2). The advice I can agree on would be "don't walk into any mechanic expecting Eastern Europe to be automatically cheap".

If this movie is going to work, He-Man better not be pacified, and the movie will need more than a G rating to be taken seriously by today's highly critical audience. He-Man has already existed in the 2-5 year old friendly world of Filmation, using his ridiculous strength to gently nullify blundering goons without as much leaving a bruise.
I am perfectly fine with the big barbarian going in, sword swinging and cleaving arms, or fatally slashing a ravenous lumbering beast to keep them at bey in an attempt to save Eternia. To think any less I feel is selfish and unfair. It is not a 1980's kids cartoon that will breath new life into this property. If that is what you want, stick with your DVDs.
I want to see He-Man get dirty, but without gratuitous violence. If you are a super strong barbarian with a sword, going up against monsters with claws, fangs, and knives, someone is going to get hurt. Most parents would agree that Spider-Man was very kid friendly, and even Spider-Man had bloodied sequences.

Local Boston Marathon runners watch developments unfold
Boston Marathon runner Michelle Zerzanek said she was tired and overwhelmed by the race's bombing, yet she could not stop watching news coverage focusing on the event.
"We're also looking for resolution," Zerzanek said. "Right now, I'm physically shaking and kind of nauseated with anticipation."
Zerzanek had already crossed the finish line at Boston when the blast occurred. She said her students at Racine Middle School were worried, not knowing if she was alive. However, she turned her tragic experience into a current-events lesson.
"Lots of questions yesterday," she said. "I showed them my personal pictures. I talked about my personal experience with the whole thing."
The explosion stopped Bob Gardenier a half mile from the finish. He said he wants one thing to come out of the investigation.
"Maybe we'll get a coherent explanation that is somehow useful in preventing this in the future," Gardenier said.
Both runners were adamant that the bombing would not keep them away from Boston.
"I would run it again in a heartbeat," Gardenier said.
Zerzanek said she never had second thoughts.
"I qualified this year. I plan to go next year," she said.
Zerzanek and Gardenier said they thought security was very high at the marathon. Officers were all along the route, they said. They said they believed most runners would not shy away from the event and suspect it will be even bigger in 2014.

Publication Archive
This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The Communication sets out the up-dated EU crisis rules for state aid to banks during the crisis from 1st August 2013. It replaces the 2008 Banking Communication and supplements the remaining crisis rules. Together, they define the common EU conditions under which Member States can support banks with funding guarantees, recapitalisations or asset relief and the requirements for a restructuring plan.
The Commission intends all phases of the public procurement process to take place electronically from end to end and software systems for this to be compatible EU-wide. A binding European standard is to be developed for electronic invoicing, in particular.
Youth unemployment has risen dramatically as a consequence of the economic and debt crisis in the EU. The Commission presents the Member States with various measures to combat the high youth unemployment level. In this regard it emphasises that the Member States can only increase their competitiveness and thereby achieve more growth and employment by way of "deep structural reforms".
The European Commission initially wants to adopt non-binding guidelines to make it easier for the Member States to adapt to the negative consequences of climate change. For this purpose, the Commission wants to support the build-up and provision of knowledge about adaptation measures. In addition, the European standardisation organisations are to examine whether industry standards, in the areas of energy, transport and construction, take sufficient account of climate change.
The Commission wants to harmonise consumer protection for travellers. For this purpose, bookings in travel agents and online will be placed on an equal footing.
The EU Commission proposes an extensive overhaul of the digital single market rules. Part 1 of the cepPolicyBrief concerns net neutrality and the full harmonisation of the rights of end-users. Part 2 deals with the notification requirement for telecomms providers, radio frequencies and virtual broadband access. The change to the Roaming Regulation and cross-border fixed-network connections within the EU will be considered in Part 3.
With the creation of a new type of European investment fund (ELTIF), the Commission wants to channel "patient" capital from both professional and retail investors into infrastructure projects, property and non-listed companies.
The Commission recommends that the Member States introduce collective actions. Collective actions refers to actions brought by two or more affected parties or by an authority or entity on their behalf. Collective actions should facilitate the enforcement of legal rights, particularly where individual actions are too costly for affected parties.
The European Commission wants to bring in a system to monitor, report and verify CO2 emissions and other climate-relevant information from ships ("MRV system"). On the one hand, the data will create a basis for further political measures. On the other, companies will gain a better overview of cost reductions.
European airspace is currently divided on the basis of national boundaries rather than in order to optimise the flow of traffic. For the establishment of a "Single European Sky" (SES), the EU issued four Regulations in 2004 (SES I) and modified them in 2009 (SES II). As there were significant delays in the implementation of SES I and SES II, the proposed Regulation (SES II+) aims to speed up the process of establishing the SES.

First Guitar Hero kicks the bucket, now this... Soul Calibur IV has been dated and priced for Japan. That's good news! The game will be released on July 31st for ¥7,800 (US$73). Above is the official Japanese box art for the game, box art that features Darth Vader for the PS3 version. Yoda is on the Xbox 360 version's cover. That's, well, not such good news. By putting these iconic Star Wars characters on the box doesn't it make Soul Calibur IV seem less like a Soul Calibur game and more like a Star Wars game? Yes, yes it does. You had a good run SC. Gonna miss ya.
Hit the jump for Yoda and try not to wonder why the Lightsabers aren't slicing through the swords!

I Ching, a 3000 year old Chinese divination tool, described by Madsen as full of practical wisdom that continues today to influence millions of people worldwide in the realms of philosophy, art, business, religion, psychoanalysis, literature, first piqued Madsen's interest 30 years prior to this recording. I was fascinated and started asking the I Ching questions almost every day to get ideas about my life, writes Madsen in his liner notes. I discovered that the I Ching didn't predict the future but instead helped you to think deeply about yourself and what you want and where you are going and when is a good time to do something!
I decided to try something new to guide our free improvisations the I Ching, writes Madsen. A quick intro to the I Ching: first you ask a question of the I Ching. Then you throw three coins six times. Heads counts as three and tails as two. You add the numbers together and get a number between 6 and 9. Each number represents a solid line or broken line. You stack these up into a hexagram made of two symbols consisting of three lines each, each representing one of 8 symbols: thunder, wind/wood, fire/light, earth, lake/marsh, heaven, water, or mountain. So you end up with two symbols on top of each other giving 64 possible answers for you to contemplate. Before each piece I threw the coins and ended up with two symbols one for Alfred and one for myself that we used as the inspiration to focus our improvisations!
Peter Madsens long career as a pianist/composer spans 50+ years, comprising more than 600 compositions and 125 recordings in many diverse styles.

Hello Owner, Administrators, and Mods,
I have seen other football message boards include a sub-forum that allows posters to ask questions about the game of football and is used as a teaching tool for those who do not know as much about the sport or even those looking to learn about more advanced topics. I believe a forum that would allow members to discuss specifically about the fundamentals and X and O's would be a great addition to .Net. Many of us, including myself, would greatly benefit from the outstanding knowledge that .Net members have to offer.
Unless you feel the NFL Nation category would serve this purpose, I'd like to suggest adding such a forum.
Here's an example from a Washington Redskins message board, TheHogs.Net

Dissolved Oxygen & Temperature
An adequate level of dissolved oxygen (DO) in lake water is essential to most life in the lake. DO is also a sensitive indicator of lake water quality, and it influences lake chemistry.
DO levels in lakes are strongly affected by water temperature, which is why the two indicators are nearly always displayed together. Lake water temperature has a strong bearing on many physical, chemical and biological processes in lake ecosystems.

Hood filters may not be the most exciting thing in your kitchen, but it's one of the most important restaurant parts that should be under your watch. The primary purpose of your hood filter is to filter the grease out of your smoke during the cooking process. Did you know that failure to unfilter this smoke could build up over time and put you at risk for a major fire? Don't put your restaurant at risk with a grease fire—stock up on commercial hood filters today.
At Tundra Restaurant Supply, we carry a diverse selection of hood filters to meet your needs. Hood filters are commonly made out of the following types of metal:
Sizing your hood filter correctly is the first step in outfitting your kitchen. Hood filters are often sized ½-inch smaller in the horizontal and vertical dimensions; so for example, if your hood opening is 20'' by 20'', the correctly-sized hood filter for you is 19½'' tall by 19½'' wide.
The best way to maximize the life of your commercial hood filter is to clean them daily to remove grease and other particles. Those with high temperature dish washers can make cleaning a breeze by running the hood filter directly in the dishwasher—just be sure to never use bleach or any type of chemical to clean a hood filter (this will shorten its life!). Failure to clean hood filters properly (think soap and water) could put your kitchen at serious risk for a fire.

Economics is the study of how organizations allocate resources, from an individual spending his or her paycheck to a company expanding its operations to the government handling welfare policies. Our three majors all allow you to apply economic theory to the real world.
Our traditional B.A. in economics is designed to teach you the basic field. You may augment your book learning with an internship at a bank, brokerage house, or multinational corporation in the United States -- or in London if you decide to study in our London program.
Or you may choose the B.S. in applied economics, which adds business and speech communication courses to the mix. Students in both majors are particularly well prepared for law school.
Finally, we offer a dual major in mathematics and economics, which has prepared students for top Ph.D. and M.B.A. programs like those at Cornell University and the London School of Economics.
Our graduates can be found working at the National Economic Research Association, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and many other firms. They tell us that our program gave them an invaluable combination of theoretical knowledge, critical-thinking skills, and real-life experience.

The Chicago Wolves broke a 1-1 tie with five straight goals, picking up an eventual 5-2 win in an Amtrak Rivalry matchup against the Milwaukee Admirals at the Bradley Center Friday night.
Forwards Darren Haydar, Fredrik Pettersson, Tim Miller and Nigel Dawes and defenseman Mark Matheson lit the lamp for the Wolves.
Milwaukee (28-14-2-7) opened scoring 8:25 into the game when defenseman Aaron Johnson fired a shot through traffic beating Chicago goaltender Peter Mannino.
Chicago (27-23-2-4) responded with a goal 40 seconds later to tie the score at one. Center Andre Deveaux wrapped around the back of the net and backhanded the puck into the paint, allowing Haydar to skate up and tap it past Admirals netminder Mark Dekanich.
Pettersson redirected a blast from defenseman Jaime Sifers to give the Wolves a 2-1 lead 5:51 into the second period.
Chicago brought the score to 3-1, 7:25 into the middle frame when Miller skated behind the net, reached and angled the puck toward the goal, where it rolled off of Dekanich's pads and into the net.
The marker sent Dekanich (19-8-5) to the bench in favor of back up Jeremy Smith. Dekanich recorded 10 saves in 27:25 minutes of play in taking the loss.
The Wolves increased their lead to 4-1, 1:44 into the third period when Matheson fired a wrist shot from the blueline past Smith, glove side.
Chicago added its fifth goal when Dawes took a feed from Haydar and sent the puck flying by Smith, top shelf 12:45 into the final frame.
Smith posted 11 saves in 32:35 minutes of relief duty for Milwaukee.
The Admirals closed scoring at 5-2 when left wing Kelsey Wilson blasted a shot from the right faceoff circle over Mannino with 3:55 left in the game.
Mannino (13-13-3) thwarted 24 shots in the win.

Wild Beasts, The Kills, Psapp, Lightspeed Champion, King Creosote, Joker's Daughter, James Yorkston, Franz Ferdinand and Eugene McGuinness | 28/10/09
In case you haven't noticed from all the crone masks on the shelves at Tesco and invitations to fancy dress parties, it's Halloween this weekend.
To coincide with the night when ghosts pop out of their musty coffins to stretch their dry and rattlin' bones, Domino is teaming up with The Quietus for a week of strange and dark stories and songs, tugged like pure souls from heaven out of the minds of their recording artistes.
We'll be kicking off in an hour or so with a tale from Wild Beasts, with the stories by The Kills, King Creosote, Joker's Daughter, Eugene McGuinness, Lightspeed Champion, James Yorkston and (we hope) more to follow over the next few days. Alongside the daily dose of mordant fiction, The Quietus will be running a competition where one lucky winner can get their hands on the original written pieces in a hand-made book, along with a bumper pack of the band's recent back catalogue by all the contributors. You'll be able to read all the stories, and enter the competition, here.
The first few pieces are up already.
Here we have Tom from Wild Beasts' Spooky Ghost story
while here we have Alison from The Kills' story called The Black Marks
Next up there's the Tale Of The Pimilly Poltergeist from King Creosote
And here's a murderous tale called Rabbits from The Kills' Jamie Hince
Enjoy! (And don't have nightmares!)

Just two weeks after arriving at Virginia Tech, a 22-year-old graduate student from China was murdered. The alleged killer decapitated her with a kitchen knife at a local coffee shop.
The news stunned a student population still reeling from the mass shootings that happened in 2007, perhaps the most famous modern geek tragedy.
Xin Yang, a Beijing native, had met her accused attacker, 25-year-old Haiyang Zhu, through the 500-strong Chinese community at VTech. The two attended several functions together, and he was listed on her emergency contacts. But on Wednesday, seemingly apropos of nothing, he pulled out a kitchen knife in a cafe at the Graduate Life Center.
Witnesses said the two had not been arguing before the attack, and that there hadn't been previous signs of trouble between them.
Zhu has been charged with first-degree murder. After the arrest, the campus alert system put in place after Seung-Hui Cho's shootings sent out a notice to about 30,000 subscribers. [AP]

The Sentinel-3 Toolbox
The Sentinel-3 Toolbox consists of a rich set of visualisation, analysis and processing tools for the exploitation of OLCI and SLSTR data from the upcoming Sentinel-3 mission. As a multi-mission remote sensing toolbox, it also supports the ESA missions Envisat (MERIS & AATSR), ERS (ATSR), SMOS as well as third party data from MODIS (Aqua and Terra), Landsat (TM), ALOS (AVNIR & PRISM) and others. The various tools can be run from an intuitive desktop application or via a command-line interface. A rich application programming interface allows for development of plugins using Java or Python.
The Sentinel-3 Toolbox is being developed for ESA by Brockmann Consult in partnership with the University of Reading, C-S France, ACRI-ST and Array.
This first release of the Sentinel-3 Toolbox is a stand-alone toolbox intended for exploitation of medium resolution optical and SMOS data. It provides all tools known from the ESA BEAM and SMOS toolboxes, plus a Sentinel-3 data reader, an uncertainty data visualisation tool and a context search feature. The next release will consist of a common Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) for Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 with a single installer and application interface.
NEWS: Sample Beta products available (June 2016)
The SENTINEL-3 sample products beta version are released to users.
The Commissioning Phase is still on-going and therefore evolutions and improvements are expected in the short term before official core data product release.
Users are invited to read the Product Note before using them.
Sample products are available on the Scientific HUB at "scihub.copernicus.eu". Auto-registration is required for accessing the server.
Sentinel-3 Test Data (July 2015)
New Sentinel-3 Test Data Sets have been produced using MERIS and AATSR data. These data provide realistic features (land, sea, cloud) but they also contain some limitations due to the input data (AATSR and MERIS swath, missing spectral channels copied or interpolated from existing channels).
Before using them one must read the Optical Test Data Set description, which provides more information and details the limitations with the data.
These Test Data Sets provide a good overview of what the future Sentinel-3 optical missions products will be like.

Gadgets: The Cook-Zen Microwave Pot
Kitchen gadgets, gear, and appliances to help you get things done.
A gadget for microwave cooking? Color me skeptical. But that's exactly what the Cook-Zen Microwave Pot ($32.99 from amazon.com) is all about. It's surprisingly amazing—and not just for the college student. As much as I wish I'd had this baby years ago when a microwave at the end of the hall was all I'd had, the Cook-Zen pot has allowed me to become lazier, more ambitious, and somewhat healthier all in one fell swoop. Sound impossible? Believe it.
Machiko Chiba, a Japanese woman with a great monogram (and better cooking philosophy) has been making strides with her microwave pot throughout her home country for years now, but thanks to Korin, it's starting to resonate with home cooks here in the States as well. The pot is fine enough on its own, but its companion cookbooks (sold separately for roughly $12 apiece or with the pot for $58.12) make a big difference in how much or how often you'll use it. Given that I don't normally cook chicken in my microwave, for instance, I'm reluctant to experiment too much on my own and risk unsafe temperatures.
So how does it work? Imagine the intersection between a pressure cooker and a steamer, rolled into a food-safe plastic microwavable pot. A slotted strainer fits inside, allowing fat to drain off from recipes that are lean to begin with—rarely do they ever use more than a half tablespoon of oil. The pot and strainer are fitted with two interlocking lids, whose settings allow for vents to open and close. There aren't many factors that you'd need to change or control at play, but that doesn't exactly make it intuitive, either. Hence the need for the cookbooks.
The thing that makes this little contraption so addicting-ly great is how versatile, and more importantly, how fast it is. A few nights ago, beef short ribs were cooked in 13 minutes. A few nights before that, curry chicken in nine. Chili in 16, bouillabaisse in nine, enough risotto for four in 12. Soups, stews, appetizers, even desserts—and not a recipe over 20 minutes. Seriously.
And while you're definitely sacrificing something in terms of texture when it comes to certain proteins—I wouldn't attempt lamb chops or filets, which are nothing without a crusty sear and rare interior—the recipes I've tested are timed perfectly to retain juiciness and flavor. Frankly, at the end of the day, all you've done is put a pot in the microwave. Whoa. Sure, the sauce sometimes strains away with the fat, but you've got an easy choice on your hands (sauce or fat? Duh) and dinner made it on the table in lightning speed.
If you're going to choose one of the two cookbooks, go with The Cook-Zen Way to Eat ($12.92, amazon.com), whose international recipes better show off the versatility of the pot (the other book is far more Asian-inspired) and require very few ingredients across the board. Given that I'd never make bouillabaisse on a hectic weeknight—or Sea Bass Pot-au-Feu, or anything fancy-sounding like that—this affords me more variety and excitement (not to mention pride) in my range of quick, affordable, in-a-pinch meals. In my kitchen, that's pretty priceless.

GENEVA — The International Diabetes Federation predicts that one in 10 adults could have diabetes by 2030, according to their latest statistics.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
In a report issued on Monday, the advocacy group estimated that 522 million people would have diabetes in the next two decades, based on things like aging and demographic changes.
The figure includes both types of diabetes. The group expects the number of cases to jump by 90 percent even in Africa, where infectious diseases have previously been the top killer. Without including the impact of increasing obesity, the International Diabetes Federation said its figures were conservative.
According to the World Health Organization, there are about 346 million people worldwide with diabetes, with more than 80 percent of deaths occurring in developing countries. The agency projects diabetes deaths will double by 2030 and said the International Diabetes Federation's prediction was possible.
"It's a credible figure," said Gojka Roglic, head of WHO's diabetes unit. "But whether or not it's correct, we can't say."
Roglic said the projected future rise in diabetes cases was because of aging rather than the obesity epidemic. Most cases of diabetes are Type 2, the kind that mainly hits people in middle age, and is linked to weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle.
Roglic said a substantial number of future diabetes cases were preventable. "It's worrying because these people will have an illness which is serious, debilitating, and shortens their lives," she said. "But it doesn't have to happen if we take the right interventions."

Rugby Overview | Detailed History | Images & Documents
Rugby, settled in northern Morgan County in 1880, began as an unusual combination of commercial venture and Utopian ideal. A group of Boston capitalists seeking to develop a large tract of land in East Tennessee combined with the English author and social reformer Thomas Hughes to create a model community. Hughes had achieved considerable fame in the United States for his 1857 novel Tom Brown's School Days, a semi-autobiographical story about Rugby, an English school for boys. Hughes's vision for Rugby in Tennessee was a place where young elite English men could work together with Americans, free from the traditional British upper class stigma against labor.
The resulting village of Rugby became home to approximately 450 residents at its zenith in the early 1880s. Homes, a library, a school, recreational facilities, and a church were constructed for residents, as well as an elaborate hotel, the Tabard Inn, for guests. By the early 1890s, however, most of the community's momentum had dissipated. Crops such as tomatoes failed to produce enough profit to sustain the economy. Poor planning and weak real estate sales further soured the commitment of the American and English investors. Hughes, who only visited Rugby once a year and never actually lived there, was unable to sustain the enthusiasm that had enticed so many to settle ten years before.
Rugby today has become a revitalized community. Efforts by local residents to restore the existing buildings have made Rugby an important tourist attraction, where the remains of Hughes's Utopian dreams survive in the Victorian architecture and pastoral setting.
